Font Awesome Icons

A Laravel Nova 4 Field for Font Awesome 6 Icons

Installation:

You can install the package in to a Laravel app that uses Nova via composer:

composer require marshmallow/nova-fontawesome

Then copy FontAwesome v6 css assets to Laravel public path where this plugin will try to access:

FontAwesome icon definition : http(s)://{fqdn}/css/all.min.css

    /public/css/fontawesome.css

Usage:

Add the below to app/Nova resources.

  use Marshmallow\NovaFontAwesome\NovaFontAwesome;

  NovaFontAwesome::make('Icon')

Add fontawesome.css to the public/css

You can override the text for the field button like so

  NovaFontAwesome::make('Icon')->addButtonText('Click Me!')

You can set a default icon for when an icon has not been set like so. First parameter is the type e.g. far, fas, fab and the second is the icon name (without fa-)

  NovaFontAwesome::make('Icon')->defaultIcon('far', 'check-circle')

If you want to persist the default icon (when they press clear it brings back the default so it can't be empty) then add the following:

  NovaFontAwesome::make('Icon')->addButtonText('Click Me!')->defaultIcon('far', 'check-circle')->persistDefaultIcon()

You can limit the icons the user can choose from like so

  NovaFontAwesome::make('Icon')->only([
    'facebook',
    'twitch',
    'twitter',
  ])

You can use Font Awesome Pro by doing the following (remember to get your license key!)

  NovaFontAwesome::make('Icon')->pro()
